Illuminate Podcast: Shining Light on the Darkness of Pornography
After betrayal, couples are often told they just need to communicate better. But what if communication isn't actually the problem? In this episode, we challenge one of the most common pieces of relationship advice and explore why communication techniques often fail in the early stages of betrayal recovery. We discuss why a betrayed partner's distress is already communicating something important, why recovering partners must learn to respond to the pain beneath the words, and why genuine safety, not better communication skills, is what creates lasting connection. The truth is, good communication isn't where healing starts. It's what naturally grows when honesty, accountability, and emotional safety are restored. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

Illuminate Podcast: Shining Light on the Darkness of Pornography
After betrayal, one question seems to take center stage: Why? Why did this happen? Why didn't you stop? Why didn't you tell me? In this episode, we explore why this question is so difficult to answer, and why even honest attempts at answering those questions often leave both partners feeling frustrated. We discuss what betrayed partners are really searching for when they ask "why," why recovering partners rarely have a satisfying answer early in recovery, and how truth, curiosity, and a willingness to understand can create far more healing than quick explanations ever could. Ultimately, this conversation is about shifting the focus from finding the perfect answer to building a process that restores reality, deepens understanding, and creates genuine safety over time. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

I gave God ten minutes. That's it... ten minutes of silence on a balcony in Caracas, with two highways roaring past and a stinky attitude about whether He'd actually say anything back. This conversation I have with Jody Hovda gets into what that experiment became, and where prayer went for her once she stopped telling God what to do and started listening instead.Jody has spent years walking with people through spiritual formation and discipleship, including her work with Cultivate. She's lived overseas, discipled women through hard seasons, and has a gift for helping people notice where God already is instead of chasing where they think He should be.Expect to hear the full story behind the ten minutes of silence that started it all, what changed when Jody moved from petitioning God to listening for Him, the story of a roadside decision that turned into an act of kindness, why she calls painful seasons "the manure" and how that framing actually produces growth, the difference between the two kinds of knowing God (intellectual and experiential), and how believing every person is an image-bearer changes the way you drive, parent, and stand in line at the grocery store, and more...If something in this conversation stirs something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it. And if you want a way to start listening for yourself, the Hearing God Challenge is a free place to begin... the link is below.

What happens when you feel like you're the only one doing the work? Whether you're the betrayed partner desperately searching for answers or the recovering partner trying to rebuild trust while your spouse seems disengaged, this imbalance can feel lonely and discouraging. In this episode, we explore why different levels of engagement are common during recovery, what can be happening beneath a partner's apparent lack of motivation, and why doing your own work still matters, even when your partner isn't fully participating. We also discuss why one person can make meaningful personal progress, but one person cannot rebuild a marriage alone. Lasting healing requires both partners to engage, even if they aren't perfectly synchronized. Relationship recovery does require that both people move forward, even if they're at different paces. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

You know that Yosemite Sam moment — face red, stomping around, hooting and hollering, wearing yourself completely out and never actually getting what you were aiming for? That's unprocessed anger. And if you've ever been tagged the angry one who goes zero to 100, or you're over here as the calm, non-confrontational one who swallows it until it explodes six weeks later — this episode is for you.Today we're getting into the real difference between anger and resentment, why bottling it up in the name of "no drama" is quietly wrecking your confidence and self-trust, and what it actually looks like to let anger do its job instead of letting it drive. Because confidence isn't a personality trait — it's evidence. And every time you go Yosemite Sam or give the silent treatment, you're teaching your nervous system you can't be trusted to handle your own feelings.We're talking the self-love two-step remix for catching anger the moment it shows up, the three moves you can make depending on what the situation calls for, and why even your valid points get lost when the delivery is foul. Anger was never bad or wrong — it's information. It's Day-Day in Friday After Next. It wants action, not a place to move in and live rent-free.IN THIS EPISODE:The real difference between anger and resentment (and why they get confused)Why unaddressed anger becomes dis-ease in the bodyThe self-trust cost of "hooting and hollering" vs. naming it clean and earlyThree moves to make when anger shows upThe self-love two-step remix for processing anger in real timeTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Anger Running You00:55 Anger Working For You02:44 Anger Versus Resentment04:07 Confidence And Self Trust08:48 What To Do With Anger11:12 Final EncouragementWATCH ON YOUTUBE — To learn the ONE thing to do with anger right now

Overthinking But You're the X Factor | Stop Overthinking and Trust YourselfDo you struggle with overthinking every decision, big or small? In this episode, we're breaking down why overthinking isn't really about finding the right answer — it's about control. If you find yourself spiraling before every decision, replaying conversations that haven't even happened, or asking everyone's opinion except your own, this episode is your permission to stop.We're exposing the real cycle behind chronic overthinking — what happens after the decision, why the relief never sticks, and why you keep landing back at square one. You'll learn the proof-gathering reframe that changes how you see every spiral coming, why your nervous system is still protecting a threat that's no longer there, and how to start trusting your own capacity instead of trying to control every outcome.Whether you're a high-achieving woman navigating decision fatigue, a busy mom stuck in survival mode, or someone who just can't seem to turn her brain off at night — this episode will help you understand what's really underneath your overthinking, and why you've been more capable than you've been giving yourself credit for.By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with:A new understanding of why you overthink (it's not what you think)A framework for recognizing your own spiral before it takes overA simple practice for building self-trust in real timeA reminder that you have survived 100% of your hardest days — and you'll survive this one tooIf you're ready to stop overthinking, release the grip, and start trusting yourself again, hit play.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Overthinking's Big Lie01:40 Why You're Always On Guard02:41 The Overthinking Cycle04:23 Proof You Won't Be Wrong05:50 Control vs Self Trust07:00 Check Your Real Life Resume08:18 You Are the Proof10:12 Self Love Two Step11:20 You Are the X Factor13:01 Final EncouragementSELF LOVE 2-STEP REMIX:Step 1 — Notice the grip.

You've been waiting for an apology that's never coming — and it was never going to come from anywhere but you. In this episode, Letitia gets real about the version of forgiveness nobody talks about enough: forgiving yourself. She shares the story of the hardest forgiveness she ever had to give herself — not for her divorce, but for the choices, the unconscious patterns, and the version of herself she thought she was supposed to be. If you've been holding yourself on trial for something you already learned from, this episode is your permission to finally close the case.WE'RE COVERING:Why forgiving other people comes so much easier than forgiving yourselfThe difference between punishment and accountability — and why they get confusedWhy forgiveness was never meant to be something you earnHow releasing yourself from the past is an act of self-love, not self-excuseTIMESTAMPS:00:00 The Apology Within01:11 Forgiveness Is Freedom02:11 Divorce and Self Grace04:09 Why We Self Punish05:30 Freedom Not Perfection07:05 Staying Free Tools09:51 A Word to Your Heart11:56 Set Yourself FreeSELF LOVE 2-STEP REMIX:Step 1 — Write the verdict you've been holding.

After betrayal, the betrayed partner has been genuinely victimized, and that reality deserves compassion, accountability, and space to heal. But lasting healing also requires something more: reclaiming your life without allowing the betrayal to become your identity. In this episode, we explore the difference between being victimized and living from a victim identity. We discuss why recovering partners must avoid using this idea to pressure or shame their partner, and why true healing happens when both people move toward accountability, courage, and genuine partnership. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

Illuminate Podcast: Shining Light on the Darkness of Pornography
Many recovering partners carry unspoken (and spoken...) resentment during the healing process. It often sounds like, “If she would just stop bringing it up,” or “If she would heal faster, I could finally move forward.” While those thoughts are understandable, they can also point to something much deeper. In this episode, we explore why resentment after betrayal isn't actually created by a betrayed partner's healing process. Instead, it often reveals hidden expectations, old thinking patterns, and emotional work the recovering partner has never had to do before. We also discuss how betrayed partners can unknowingly absorb that resentment, pulling them away from their own healing and back into caretaking the person who hurt them. Ultimately, resentment isn't a problem the betrayed partner can solve for the one who broke trust. If you're the recovering partner who broke trust, this is an invitation to understand yourself more deeply, take responsibility for your own emotional experience, and create the conditions for genuine healing, both individually and as a couple. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith, Limitless Practice grad, now on Team Abundance, premium-fee private pay practice in New Orleans. We're talking about leaving a "secure" job (pension, health insurance, predictable salary) to start a private practice when everyone around you thinks you've lost your mind. Spoiler: you probably haven't. You've probably already made the decision. We get into why safety is more of a feeling than a fact, what you actually need to make this work in 2026, & why the people calling you crazy might just be bad psychics.

In today's episode, I talk with Maya Benattar, LCAT, a licensed creative arts therapist in New York, about what happens when you discover your entire license type has been left out of major mental health legislation and you decide to do something about it. Maya shares how she built a coalition that became a full 501(c)(3), hired a lobbyist, and is fighting to get LCATs the insurance coverage mandates and diagnostic privileges they deserve. We also talk about how she keeps her practice sustainable while doing all of this, including why staying out of network has given her the flexibility to show up for the advocacy work without burning out completely.

What if the goal of healing isn't to stop hurting? After betrayal, it's natural to want the pain to go away. Many betrayed partners work tirelessly to feel better, while recovering partners often believe their job is to make sure their partner never hurts again. But what if that shared goal is actually keeping both of you stuck? In this episode, we challenge the belief that successful healing means the absence of pain. We explore why discomfort is an unavoidable part of being human, how betrayal pain is different from the everyday hurts that exist in every relationship, and why trying to eliminate all pain can actually create resentment, anxiety, and disconnection. __________________________________ Download the Free Video Resource: Rekindle Romance After Betrayal Romance doesn't come back through pressure or pretending everything is fine.

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A.E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about dropping insurance panels. Specifically, the part nobody warns you about: the fear. We're getting into why the timing is never going to feel right, what it actually looks like to make this move strategically without blowing up your income, and why having a needle-thin niche is the thing that makes all of it possible. Rebecca did this herself and her life is so much better on the other side. Come hear what she has to say. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

Part 5 of the Relationship Psychology Series: Emotionally Unavailable Men Aren't Your Type — They're Your Pattern What if emotionally unavailable men aren't actually your “type”…but a nervous system pattern your body learned to normalize?In this final episode of the Relationship Psychology Series, we're diving into one of the deepest relationship truths women can uncover:Sometimes the attraction to emotionally unavailable men isn't about love…It's about familiarity.The inconsistency.The emotional distance.The longing.The chasing.The intermittent validation.And for many women, those dynamics feel intoxicating not because they're healthy……but because they feel familiar to the nervous system.In this episode, we unpack:why emotionally unavailable men feel so magneticthe anxious/avoidant relationship dynamichow women unknowingly abandon themselves trying to earn loveand what actually changes when a woman heals her relationship patterns.Because emotionally unavailable men are not your destiny.They're a pattern.And patterns can change.Inside this episode, we explore:Why emotionally unavailable men often feel so attractiveHow childhood emotional patterns shape adult attractionThe connection between proving your worth and emotionally distant menWhy women over-empathize and wait for potential instead of realityThe difference between compassion vs self-abandonmentHow intermittent validation creates emotional attachmentWhy emotionally unavailable dynamics can feel addictiveThe hidden ways women can also be emotionally unavailableWhy some women feel safer chasing love than receiving itWhat shifts when a woman heals her nervous system and attachment patternsThis episode is for you if:You keep attracting emotionally unavailable menYou constantly over-explain low effort or inconsistencyYou feel addicted to “the chase” in loveYou struggle to trust healthy, emotionally available menYou mistake anxiety and emotional highs/lows for chemistryYou've stayed too long waiting for someone's potential to become realityYou fear being “too much” or hard to loveBecause being chosen by emotionally unavailable men…will never heal the abandonment wound.Because no amount of finally being “picked” by unavailable love…will create the emotional safety your nervous system is actually craving.We also talk about…Why women often unconsciously recreate familiar relationship dynamics.Not because they're broken.But because the nervous system naturally gravitates toward what feels familiar — even when it's painful.And for many women…love became associated with:provingwaitingchasingover-functioningearning connectionInside LOVER…This is exactly the deeper work we do.LOVER is for the woman who is done:chasing emotionally unavailable loveproving her worth in relationshipsromanticizing inconsistencyconfusing chaos for chemistryabandoning herself to preserve connectionInside this experience, we work with:feminine embodimentnervous system healingemotional safetyattachment patternsself-worthpolarity & relationship dynamicsSo you stop recreating painful relationship cycles……and finally become emotionally available for the kind of love you truly desire.>> CLICK HERE TO JOIN LOVER

You prayed for this life. You planned for it, sacrificed for it, stayed up late for it. And then you got it.And now there is a quiet ache underneath everything that keeps whispering — but is this it? Is there more?And instead of honoring that feeling, you have been making yourself feel guilty for having it.Friend. That stops today.One of the most misunderstood feelings a high-achieving woman can carry — the guilt of wanting more when you already have so much. Because gratitude and desire are not opposites. You can be deeply grateful for everything you have built AND feel the pull toward something more at the exact same time. One does not cancel the other.Wanting more is not greed. It is not ingratitude. It is not you being impossible to satisfy.It is your next level self knocking on the door. And this episode is about finally answering.WHAT WE GET INTO:The Guilt Nobody Talks About — The quiet voice that says "who am I to want more when so many people would trade places with me.Why Desire Is Evidence — Not A Problem. You were not designed to arrive and stop. What It Costs You To Keep Suppressing It The Seven Words that shift everything from guilt to expectancy. Your Self Love 2 Step RemixStep 1 — Name the desire without the apology attached. Write down what you have been quietly wanting more of — freedom, creativity, alignment, more of yourself showing up in your own life. No justification. No disclaimer. Step 2 — Swap the guilt for curiosity. The next time guilt shows up for wanting more, replace it with a question: what is this desire pointing me toward? Step 3 — The YOU Step. Get still. Get quiet. Ask yourself — what is my heart telling me to do next? Whatever comes up, that is your next right aligned step. GET YOUR JOURNAL PROMPTSWant to go deeper on this episode? Journal prompts are waiting for you — designed to help you get clear on your desires, honor yourself now, and start stepping toward your next level with intention and without guilt.

You love a good deal. We all do. But somewhere along the way you started negotiating the one thing that was never supposed to be on the table — your worth.It often does not feel like shrinking. It feels reasonable, easy to work with, not too much and that is exactly what makes it so dangerous for the woman who has already built something real.In Episode 312, we break down the three places high-achieving women quietly negotiate against themselves — in their careers, their relationships, and their sense of self — and why the most successful women are often the ones most invisible to their own pattern.This is your No More Drama moment.WHAT WE GET INTO:Your Career — The Financial Receipt Nobody Wants to Look At Your Relationships — The Emotional Math Nobody Is Doing Your Sense of Self — The One That Goes the Deepest TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Your Worth Is Not Negotiable01:07 Welcome and Get Present01:58 The Self Negotiation Habit03:08 Mary J Era to No More Drama06:03 Where It Shows Up at Work08:08 Where It Shows Up at Home10:20 Losing Yourself Over Time12:39 Where The Root Starts14:05 Catch the Flicker and Shift18:57 Final Pep Talk and Wrap UpYour Self Love 2 Step Remix for This EpisodeStep 1 — Catch the flicker.

Ask yourself: what is my heart telling me to do next? That is your next right aligned step.

Illuminate Podcast: Shining Light on the Darkness of Pornography
After betrayal, many couples wonder if real closeness is ever possible again, or if the best they can hope for is simply learning to coexist. In this episode, Geoff shares insights from a recent couples retreat where he witnessed people working through years of pain, disconnection, and broken trust. He explores why betrayed partners often feel caught between hope and doubt, and why recovering partners cannot create healing through convincing, pressure, or promises alone. We also discuss the shame many couples carry after betrayal, the belief that their relationship is permanently damaged or somehow less than other relationships. Instead of demanding certainty about the future, healing begins by making room for possibility, being honest about both fear and hope, and allowing trust to rebuild over time. Ultimately, this conversation is about why lasting closeness grows through presence, accountability, and emotional honesty, not through pressure or perfect techniques. __________________________________ Download the Free Video Resource: Rekindle Romance After Betrayal Romance doesn't come back through pressure or pretending everything is fine.

This week on Hey Sis, Eat This, Courtney and Whitney sit down with comedian, podcast host, and fellow Texan Justin Martindale to swap stories about queso, Whataburger, the Wizard of Oz, and the uniquely Texas trauma of live nativity scenes. We also celebrate Momma Debbie, Justin's creative, no-filter, deeply supportive mom whose influence shows up in his comedy, confidence, and sense of humor. Justin shares how Joan Rivers, game shows with his grandfather, and a very dramatic childhood viewing of Dracula helped shape his love of the stage. He also opens up about coming out to Momma Debbie over margaritas at Pappasito's, how her sex talk left both Justin and his hamster confused, and why her Shake n' Bake chicken may have been questionable but her pico de gallo remains legendary. Shake up a margarita and grab your tortilla chips, because this episode is serving Texas-sized laughs, mom love, and just the right amount of queso judgment. Love You, Love Your Show!

You love a good plan. You want every step mapped out, color coded, and fully negotiated before you move. And that's exactly why God never gives you the full plan — because He already knows what you're going to do with it. The negotiations would begin immediately and He is not here for it.But here's what this episode is really about. It's not just the steps you're taking — it's the ones you keep avoiding. Because that avoided step? That is exactly where your payoff is waiting.Let's get real about what it actually takes to become the version of you that the dream belongs to. Not just gaining new skills and checking boxes — but shedding what no longer serves you, releasing what you've outgrown, and taking the bold moves that scare you most. Because avoid that step and you avoid the payoff. And friend, we've been avoiding it for way too long.This is the real talk, straight up, no chaser.WE'RE GETTING INTO:➡️ The dream without the change isn't the dream — what you actually have to release to receive it➡️ Why your steps be telling on you — and what the story they're telling says about who you're becoming➡️ Baby steps, bold moves, and why you need both — but especially the bold moves➡️ How challenging yourself means life doesn't have to do it for you — and why that matters more than you think➡️ Why the avoided step is where every one of your biggest payoffs is waitingSELF-LOVE 2-STEP:Step 1 — Release: Get honest about one thing you're holding onto that directly contradicts what you say you want — a habit, a pattern, a relationship, a story — and make the decision today to let it goStep 2 — Build: Identify your next bold move — not your baby step, you're already doing those — write it down, give it a deadline, and do itThe YOU Step: Get still, get quiet, and ask yourself — what is the next right aligned step for me to take? Not the whole plan. Just the next move. Trust her. She already knows.
Are you in the messy middle and wondering if the dream is even worth it? That in-between season — where you're doing the work but the results aren't showing up the way you expected — has a name. It's not the stuck or forgotten season. It's the preparation season and it's positioning you for everything you asked for.We gets real about the sting of the messy middle — the doubt, the dread, and the temptation to turn back and go back to what's familiar even when familiar wasn't fulfilling. But here's what shifts everything: every single choice you make is a vote. You are constantly casting votes for a version of yourself — and the version that gets the most consistent votes? That's the version that shows up in your life. So, let's stop measuring how close the dream is and start measuring how consistently you are voting for the woman who already has it.WE'RE GETTING INTO:➡️ Why the messy middle hurts in a very specific way — and why that pain is not a sign to quit➡️ The voting framework — how every choice, habit, boundary, and standard is a vote for a version of you➡️ Why the temptation to return to familiar is real and what to do when it gets loud➡️ How to get crystal clear on who she is ➡️ Why receiving requires releasing — and what has to go to make room for what's coming➡️ How to use this preparation season to deliver the version of you who already has everything you've been asking for.THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:Step 1 — Release: Identify what you're still voting for that belongs to an old version of you and make the decision to let it goStep 2 — Reframe: Every time the messy middle stings, replace the doubt with — I am preparing for everything I asked for and every choice is a vote for herThe YOU Step:Get still, get quiet, and get clear on who she is. Write down three things she believes about herself that you are still building — then cast one vote for her today.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Messy Middle Mindset01:20 Naming the In Between03:05 The Pain of Not Yet04:18 Every Choice Is a Vote07:38 Define Her and Vote09:19 Release to Receive12:21 Pep Talk for the Process

The two dive into queer representation on screen, Allison Janney's status as a gay icon, awkward Hollywood intimacy stories, and why some of the hardest moments in life can also be the funniest.

Courtney and Whitney sit down with brothers Pete and Scott Ripmaster to celebrate their mom, Momma Hillary, whose love, humor, and fierce loyalty shaped the men they became. After losing their mother to breast cancer, Pete began running as a way to raise money for research in her honor, a mission that eventually led him into ultra-running and onto the Iditarod Trail. Scott brings his own memories of Momma Hillary to the table, from the meals she made between school and practice to the way she showed up for her kids without question. Together, the brothers reflect on the bond they built after losing their mom, the promise they made to lean on each other, and the family stories that still keep her close. They remember peanut butter and bacon sandwiches, family dinners where everyone shared the best thing that happened that day, the family "wave" in restaurants, road trip show tunes, childhood pranks, tetherball revenge, and one very memorable answer to "What was your mom's favorite cuss word? The Ripmaster brothers not only honor their mother, but they also have each other's backs, running marathons together, sharing memories, and turning grief into a purpose that keeps Momma Hillary's spirit alive.

Oscar-winner Allison Janney, Andrew Rannells and writer-director Jim Rash sit down with Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about HBO's ‘Miss You, Love You,' a dark comedy about grief, estrangement and the unlikely bond between two strangers at a funeral. Janney and Rannells break down how they prepared for the role, why they memorized the entire script before day one and what made this one of the most satisfying projects of their careers. Rash opens up about the personal loss that inspired the story and the delicate balance of making audiences laugh and cry at the same time.

On Episode 300 of Outside The Round, Matt Burrill sits down with longtime friend Julia Cole to celebrate the release of her new album Love You To Death. Julia opens up about her journey as an independent artist, building the “Cole Team” fan community, and creating what she calls “Sisterhood Country” , music rooted in heartbreak, healing, strength, and loyalty. The conversation dives into standout songs like “Day Late & A Buck Short,” “Treat Me Like Dirt,” and “Daddy Daughter Dance,” plus the real-life experiences that inspired the project following a called-off engagement. Julia also reflects on touring with Jelly Roll, playing arenas and festivals around the world, balancing life on the road, and how sports helped shape her mindset as an artist. From Broadway-era Nashville memories to headlining her own Love You To Death Tour, this episode is an honest look at growth, resilience, songwriting, and finding purpose through music.

Illuminate Podcast: Shining Light on the Darkness of Pornography
“Give it time.” It's one of the most common pieces of advice couples hear after betrayal. While there's some truth in the idea that healing takes time, time by itself does not repair broken trust. In this episode, we talk about the difference between simply waiting and actively healing. We explore how some couples spend years hoping things will eventually feel different, only to realize the same pain is still sitting quietly between them because nothing meaningful has actually changed. We also discuss the unique ways betrayed partners and recovering partners experience time differently. Betrayed partners are often left carrying the emotional weight in silence while everyone else hopes things will settle down. Recovering partners, meanwhile, may desperately want the process to be over, confusing the passage of time with actual repair. This conversation is about learning how to work with time instead of passively waiting for it to fix something on its own. Healing after betrayal requires structure, honesty, repetition, accountability, and the willingness to keep engaging over time in ways that actually create movement and trust. __________________________________ Download the Free Video Resource: Rekindle Romance After Betrayal Romance doesn't come back through pressure or pretending everything is fine.

Season 5 starts with real tears as Courtney and Whitney reflect on the ways they've carried each other over the years. It's honest, emotional, and the perfect setup for an episode about what sisters can mean to each other. This week, they welcome Dr. Jessica Shepherd and her sister Desiree Jordan, two Jamaican Canadian sisters now living in Dallas. Jessica is a board-certified OB/GYN, TV health expert, CEO, and entrepreneur, while Desiree is a midlife reset coach. Together, they bring wisdom, humor, and personal experience to a conversation about women's health, perimenopause, menopause, and what the ladies of Hey Sis lovingly call "Cougar Puberty.". Then the convo shifts to the star of the hour, Momma Pauline, a hard working immigrant woman from Jamaica who along with their father moved to Toronto to create a new life and better opportunities for Jessica and Desiree. A pillar of the Jamaican Ex-Pat community, an avid cook and exemplary hostess, Momma Pauline modeled for her daughters the importance of bringing loved ones together around food. Jessica and Desiree share memories of her legendary table settings, Jamaican cooking, Hallmark Movie Christmas's, and one unforgettable cow tongue dinner they would rather forget. This episode is a tribute to the mothers who raise us, the sisters who save us, and the stories that keep us connected! Love You, Love Your Show!

Sisters Courtney and Whitney wrap up Season 4 with a brief post-Mother's Day catch-up covering movie outings, perimenopause hair changes, and Courtney's recent breast surgery. Courtney fills listeners in on how posting about her implant removal and recovery unexpectedly sparked concern, support, and some very opinionated reactions online. Whitney may have found her new calling as the "Horse Girl Whisperer" to the young riders at her barn, adding to her growing list of mini fans. She also spills the tea on Daddy Ashley's Dallas art show, where she took Courtney's boyfriend as her date while simultaneously scouting potential future Hey Sis, Eat This guests. Season 4 was filled with life changes and unexpected detours. Some emotional, some hilarious but all very real. Needless to say the Sisters are THRILLED to announce that Season 5 officially launches May 21st.

In this week's installment of the Betting on Yourself series, I'm sitting down with Kyyah Abdul to talk about what it actually means to create your own luck — not in theory, but in practice.We get into the mindset behind “lucky” people, and how to increase your odds of luck through how you think, how you decide, and how willing you are to move forward even when you don't have all the answers.Kyyah brings such a powerful perspective to this conversation. From her background in neuroscience to her lived experiences with loss at a young age, she breaks down how resilience, decisiveness, and self-trust are all things that can be built — not traits you're just born with.We talk about decision-making as a muscle, why so many of us are stuck in analysis paralysis, and how social media has made us way too concerned with optics.We also talk about boundaries (and why most people misunderstand them), the pressure of being perceived, and how to stop treating your life like a group project.This conversation is a reminder that luck isn't something you wait for, it's something you build, decision by decision.This episode is for you if…You keep overthinking your next move and feel stuck waiting for clarityYou want to be more confident but don't trust your own decisions yetYou're navigating a transition (career, identity, relationships) and feel uncertainYou struggle with boundaries — especially with family, friends, or people you loveYou feel held back by fear of judgmentYou're trying to “do the right thing” instead of doing what actually feels alignedYou know you're capable of more, but something is keeping you playing smallEpisode Links:Follow Kyyah on Instagram: instagram.com/kyyahabdulFollow Kyyah on TikTok: tiktok.com/kyyahabdulRead The Prepared Graduate, a non-fiction career guide written by Kyyah wherever you get your booksTo learn even more, visit Kyyah's website: www.thekyyahabdul.comSponsors:Cotton: Learn more at TheFabricOfOurLives.com, and follow along at @discovercotton using #ShopCotton.Monarch Money: Use code LUCKY at monarch.com to get your first year half off at just $50.Nutrafol: For a limited time, Nutrafol is offering our listeners $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you visit Nutrafol.com and enter promo code BALANCEDLESKeep in Touch with Les:Ready to apply what you hear?

The Dead have a long history of great Spring performances, and 1980 was no exception. This week we go to Nassau for the May 14, 1980 show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. This was the first night of a three‑show run, with the last two nights later compiled on the 2002 "Go To Nassau" release, leaving this opening show as the odd one out from the official catalog. This show comes shortly after the "Go To Heaven" release, so they open with "Alabama Getaway." Jerry gives us a fine reading of "Candyman," and the arrangements on Weir's "country" tunes—"Mexicali Blues" and "El Paso"—are rockin'. "Tennessee Jed" follows, with Brent providing a lovely counterpoint to Garcia's leads. "Let It Grow" then leads into a still‑new "Althea." Another "Go To Heaven" tune follows, Brent's "Easy to Love You," which leads into a rocking, set‑closing "Music Never Stopped." Let's settle in at Nassau Coliseum, May 14, 1980, on this week's Deadpod. Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 5/14/1980 - Wednesday One Alabama Getaway [4:10] > The Promised Land [4:08] ; Candyman [7:32] ; Mexicali Blues [4:33] > El Paso [4:22] ; Tennessee Jed [9:25] ; Let It Grow [9:00] > Althea [8:15] ; Easy To Love You [3:49] > The Music Never Stopped [7:38] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod050826.mp3 As always my sincere thanks for your kind support.
“Just calm down.” It might sound reasonable in the middle of a hard conversation, but it almost never works. In fact, it usually makes things worse. In this episode, we explore what's actually happening when emotions escalate after betrayal and why the goal is not to force yourself or your partner into immediate calm. We talk about how activation lives in the nervous system, why pressure to “get it together” often creates more shame and disconnection, and how both betrayed partners and recovering partners can unintentionally add more stress to an already overwhelmed system. __________________________________ Download the Free Video Resource: Rekindle Romance After Betrayal Romance doesn't come back through pressure or pretending everything is fine.
